In social work education, there is a strong movement towards the application of evidence and research to practice. This book is an authoritative introduction to this field of social work enquiry; ranging from a critical overview of becoming an evidence-based practitioner, all the way to applying research in specific social work practice contexts.

This key textbook explores how good social work practice draws upon relevant and current research to ensure that interventions are as effective as possible. Social workers are increasingly required to demonstrate their knowledge of the research and evidence that underpin the daily decisions they make and actions they take and it is therefore vital that they are not only up to date with the latest research, but that they have the tools and understanding to successfully apply this to their practice. Written by leading experts in the field, this text book provides a step-by-step guide to implementing research in to every day social work practice.

This is essential reading for any one taking a research module on Social Work programmes, at undergraduate and postgraduate level, or practitioners wishing to advance their own practise and deliver the best possible service they can.

Martin Webber is Anniversary Reader in Social Work and Director of the International Centre for Mental Health Social Research at the University of York, UK
